Research on the PFAS release and migration behavior of multi-layer outdoor jacket fabrics.

Perfluoroalkyl and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) release from textiles is a source of human exposure, but the mechanisms behind this release remain insufficiently studied. This research investigates the release and transport mechanisms of PFAS in outdoor jacket fabrics treated with a short side-chain fluorinated polymers (CF-SFPs) for durable water repellency (DWR). PA-based and PET-based fabrics were exposed to outdoor conditions and subjected to accelerated aging, followed by abrasion, washing, and drying experiments to simulate wear and degradation.

A Terbium Ion-Based Dual-Ligand Fluorescent Probe for Highly Selective and Sensitive Detection of Cu Ions.

In this study, a fluorescent probe (GMP-Tb-SSA) utilizing lanthanide coordination polymer nanoparticles, GMP-Tb, as a sensing platform, and 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) as a cofactor ligand was proposed for the detection of copper ions (Cu). GMP-Tb was synthesized by the self-assembly of guanine monophosphate (GMP) and terbium ion (Tb), and SSA was introduced as a sensitizer into the GMP-Tb network. Cu could efficiently inhibit the electron transfer from the ligand GMP to the central ion, Tb, leading to a significant quench of fluorescence of Tb.

Study on the simultaneous release of microfiber and indigo dye in denim fabric home washing.

In recent years, with the increasing global focus on environmental protection, the issue of microfiber release from denim during the washing process has gained attention. In this study, a programmable washing device simulating household drum washing was designed and developed, microfibers and indigo dyes released from denim washing were quantitatively detected, and we have also developed a novel method for estimating the release of microfibers during washing. The effects of washing time, washing temperature, and washing load on microfiber and indigo dye release from denim were explored.

Visualizing stimulus-responsive dual-ligand fluorescent probes for hypochlorite: A novel strategy for real application in tap water.

As an effective ingredient of disinfectants, ClO inevitably remains in water, which induces potential health hazards such as lung damage and kidney disease. In this study, we synthesized stimulus-responsive dual-ligand luminol-Tb-GMP coordination polymer nanoparticles (luminol-Tb-GMP CPNPs) as highly selective fluorescent probes for the real-time and visual detection of ClO . CPNPs consist of Tb , a nuclear metal, that coordinates with GMP and luminol, an auxiliary ligand.
